Notes
Kuruvilla argues that a sermon should preach the pericope's own theology rather than reduce every text to a christological point -- what he calls christiconic rather than christocentric interpretation. It sits directly against Goldsworthy's Preaching the Whole Bible and Clowney's position, both represented in this collection. The second Moody title here.
